Ken Since everyone seems to be pushing their favourite window manager at the moment I better put in a word for ratpoison. If you like screen(1) and hate mice (mouses?) then check out rat poison. Everything is controlled by key strokes which IMO is a good thing ;) http://ratpoison.sourceforge.net/ The other nice thing is that it is quick and is only 37k.

I can't imagine why you'd want to live without them, and am not sure why you would necessarily want to run _another_ program to get them. Now you must read this: http://advogato.org/article/248.html Especially the clueless rant from 'cmm', who manages to diss one of the cornerstones of Unix philosophy, calling it "completely nuts". I use Sawfish too, on my main machine. It's thin, not lacking in features, infinitely customisable (it's the Emacs of window managers), and very perky with the Eazel-developed Crux theme. ;) I'm running WindowMaker on the new SPARC, but only to play with... and to remember Uni, when every other poor sod was running fvwm! ;) lwm will go on soon. One click, and I have a terminal, plus I use the very cool minimal menu that Elliott wrote to go with it.
